Day 3２: Shopping in Suidobashi

Hello!

So today I followed Jimmy to school and hanged around Tokyo Dome until he was finished. I had planned to maybe take the train some places, but the weather was so bad that I crashed at a mall nearby.

 I really want to take this roller coaster!

 I goes over the mall, and even inside!

 Look! It goes through a "hole" in the building

Here are some pictures from the mall

 My super yummu snack!

 After school, Jimmy and I went to eat dinner:

I'm not feeling too good (again), so I'm keeping it short..

Tomorrow I'm maybe going to my university, but I'm not sure

じゃ、またね！

Day 22: Yokohama with Moemi and dinner with Steffi, Joel and Jimmy

Hello!

So today I was suuper tired. Mainly because I've been up to late, and not getting enought sleep... But I met with Moemi today, in Yokohama at 13:00. I'm happy I set an alarm, or else I would have slept way past the meeting time. Side note: I got an e-mail today about my acceptance to the Tokyo Metropolitan University:

I'm goin to the University at the start of March to pick up the "real" copy and I think I'm going to sign something. Either way, It's nice to go there at least once before starting there. The only downside is that it's 1 hour by train...

When I met Moemi we went to eat lunch, because I hadn't eaten yet, We ate pasta, and I chose Carbonara:

 Moemi chose a spicy roe pasta! And being super cute~

 BIRD!

 BRIDGE!

 PEOPLE!
(Sorry, I'm going to stop now...)

 We went down a famouse shopping street in Yokohama and to different malls!

 I tried taiyaki for the first time~ I had chocolate filling, because I don't like the traditional anko...

I bough a skirt, short, and a shirt. One of the employee was so excited about me and was very curious how Moemi had a friend like me (that I'm nordic, I guess). While I tried on some clothes Moemi and the employee had a lively conversation.  

 Just a random picture~

 After getting home from Yokohama, I had a skype conversation with one of the employee at the Borderless House. I have applied to a "host-family"-stay, and he asked me some querstions. I have always wanted to try to live with a host family! When I visited my, at the time fiancé, in 2013, I stayed at his host family's house. But it different to be a guest at the house and actually have them as "family". For international residents it's free of charge, so I really want to try! I applied to stay a week from 9th to 16th of March. I'm going to get an answer if a host family is available that periond, tomorrow. So I'm really looking forward to it! :D

I had to rush to Suidobashi to meet Steffi, Joel and Jimmy. We were meeting at 19, but they were 15 minutes late. Then we had to wait 40 minutes for David to come, but then he left because he was going to eat later? But... We met to eat dinner?...What? So yeah.... But, we found a restaurant called Watami, so we ate there.

Here is Steffi and Joel

 Here is me and Jimmy

 I forgot to take a picture of the food, haha! But there is the dessert:

 Jimmy was so nice, so I had some of his dessert too~

 Tomorrow I'm going to have my language exhange-program at 13:30, and then later visit Hiro at 18:00. Then I can finally give Aimi-chan (his baby) her present from Norway! :D

じゃ、またね！

Day 13: Parks in Ota and dinner with friends

Hello!

It was raining a lot today, so I actually didn't want to go out, but I did it either way. You know how you always go to places far away to explore and sometimes forget it can be stuff to see in your own neighbourhood? So I though since it's raining I can just explore near the house. About 300 meter from the house is a small park "Omori Shell Mounds Garden". It's a cute place and it looks like a good place to read when it's warm and sunny. 

 In almost every parks there is a toilet! It's very nice even though it's japanese style... Something there should be more of is garbage cans!

 It was me and one other person in the park. It was raining a lot so it's not so strange...

 The next thing I visited was a shrine "Kashima Jinja Shrine"

What's with his smug face?

 You look like you know something I don't, and I don't how to feel about it...

 I don't know what this building is... There was someone in it and a man went in...

I wanted to visit the Shinagawa Historical Museum, but I though it was closed...

 But I asked Steffi, and she though that maybe they had a break. I'll come back another day~

On my way back to the hpuse I went to a local grocery store and bought some water, food and some containers. I then made Carbonara for lunch. It was for two people, so it'll last me about 3 meals.

Later, Steffi invited me to eat out with some friends from her University (in Suidobashi). So we did that instead of making dinner at the house. Amoung them were three men from Sweden! So sometimes we spoke with each other in norwegian and swedish, but mostly in english so the others wouldn't feel left out.

 OMG, what's with the dude behind me? Is he possessed by Satan?

It's all you can drink for 1200 yen (76 kroner). If you order two soft drinks it's the same price so it's ok to have all you can drink even if you don't want alcohol. But we ate and drank and had an awesome time! We ordered many different dishes and split the bill when we were done. 

Later we went to Shibuya to have some more fun and was home about 00:30. And it was soooo many people out so late! It's so weird! It was just like in the afternoon...Japanese people like to be up late! Or maybe they just work so late!? I though I was going to sleep alot, but I woke up earlier than normal...

On friday we're going to hang out again and make food ^_^

じゃ、またね！
